They recently reopened at a new location over by NTC. The interior is super cute, full of flowers hanging all over the ceiling. Plenty of seating for many groups, much more seating than their previous location.
We had a table of 7 on a Sunday morning. I honestly think they had an off day because the pho was very very salty.. ive never had pho that salty before served at a restaurant. I had to water it down twice, & gulped down my entire cup of water with it. Pad see ew was salty too. Papaya was really good though. We got it at “spicy” level and its actually pretty spicy so beware. Thai Boat was good.
I will return one more time for their pho before making my mind up on my overall experience there.

Best bubble tea in town! Unique drinks, delicious mochi donuts, and flavorful food. Love how the drinks are sweet but refreshing and can taste variety of ingredients and not just sugar.
Have tried the potato corndog and original. Preferred Original Corndog since seemed crispier and better cooked (potato was a little gooey inside, though still tasted amazing). Think elevated American corndog with delicious gooey cheese and way more textural variety!
Ube Coconut Mochi Donut was very rich, dense, and chewy. Absolutely amazing. Frosting had a milky earthy flavor.
Ube Taro Cloud drink was absolutely world-changing – creamy, refreshing, earthy, coconutty, not too sweet.
Cookies & Cream Boba was a chocolate-lovers dream. Love how soft and chewy the boba is – have had some hard boba in lesser-quality bobas from stores before. GS Specialty redeemed my faith in boba drinks – finally realized what all the hype was about.
Thai Tea Smoothie had a milder flavor and wasn’t as rich – icier. Would probably prefer in cloud version.

First time dining in. Beef Green Curry with Rice. Meat was succulent and rich, perfectly cooked. Appreciated vegetables that retained color and had variety of tender and crisp texture…some were cut into fun shapes. Curry sauce was velvety and very flavorful with a mild spice level that grew to a 3. Not too salty and served hot. Came out quickly. Noise level was mild at lunch on a Saturday. Music was chill and interior was spacious and beautifully decorated. Reminded me of a rose arbor. Eating in a garden.
Pink Zebra tasted like a creamy cherry float with generous amounts of chewy-crunchy strawberry jelly.
Waiter was very polite and helpful and patiently explained menu. Checked on us multiple times. My friend had chicken red curry and said hers was good too. Ours came out 2 minutes apart and both were ready in 10 mins

Highly recommend. One of the rare places where they serve truly authentic and delicious dishes. Ia (my server) was wonderful. Food was hot, as ordered, and fast. And such a good price!!

Asian reviewer here. Been waiting for this place to grow from its last location. Food is home cooked taste with Hmong, Lao, and Thai fusions. Korean corn dogs, mochi donuts, and bubble tea for the kids. Cannot beat what this little restaurant has to offer. Service has improved since opening and quality of food has not disappointed. Atmosphere is family friendly or with a hint of romantic. Pho-natics this is a must try place, get the boat noodle, just do it. Oh, and their Large bowls are XL size.

The new atmosphere is so beautiful and the mochi donuts were DELICIOUS. my friends and I so were ready to go in and get more. Anyone who’s saying they don’t like this place is totally gatekeeping bc I ADORED every moment. They were quite quick, the location was well renovated and modernly updated, and I just felt so welcomed. Good job yall.

Owners are great people! But my honest opinion, i think they need help. I didn’t have a good experience after my 2nd try at their new location.
Food: I ordered their “easy pho” way too salty, too much garlic, and it had an iron/metallic after taste. Luke warm
Service: i waited 20mins to be waited on. And my appetizer came out more than 10min after my main dish and I was ready to leave.
Environment: looks great in there very awesome vibe to it. But the food and service, not so much.

The interior design was beautiful. Very welcoming feel overall. I got the spicy brisket w/ sticky rice. The brisket was cold and tough. I didn’t send it back because I thought it’d be manageable, but I guessed wrong. The wait time was around 15 min and other people who came after us received their food before we received our appetizers.
My biggest gripe was probably the brisket. It was obviously reheated and it wasn’t even brisket, just a cheap cut of beef. And the whole experience costed me $23.

This place has a commitment to quality from ingredients to preparation to service. By far the best Asian restaurant in this area. The portions are generous, the food delicious, and the service exceptional. If you haven’t been here yet, you are missing out. Oh, and check out their stuffed wings, their Corn Dogs, their doughnuts, and their in-store crafted drinks. It’s all good perfection.

Went in the eat lunch time group of 4. Got seated decently. Apparently out of menus and only had 4 to share around with the customers..understandable. ordered boat noodle, pho combo and 2 gs specialty pho. Appetizers came out reasonably and tasted great. Then the pho comes out little on the slow side but ok. Instantly, boat noodles were soggy. Pho broth not even close to beef pho. Looked like chicken broth quick packs. Combo pho was given as the gs specialty. After other person already mixed we were told the orders were mis-matched. Now both gs specialty pho come late, we were told we can just put the beef bone into the other pho bowl to correct their mistake…so for the price difference of pho combo n gs specialty is just a rib bone..I guess. Environment is welcoming and enjoyable. Mistakes happen but hopefully restaurant can bounce back and clean up services.

I’ve always enjoyed going here even from their first location. Ever since they opened their 2nd location I have been here 4 times and all 4 times I have gotten excellent customer services from Mai (X). Her hospitality is out of this world. The way when you walk in and she greets you with the most welcome smile. She makes sure you are taken care of and never let’s your cup go dry. Thank you Mai (X) for serving us every time we come there. My family and I appreciate your hospitality so much.
